⭐️ Editor's Pick
Neftjanik Almetjevsk look more reliable defensively, but Norilsk know how to get results on the road. The northern side have won four of their last five away games, and their two previous trips to Almetjevsk also ended in victories. The hosts are not flawless even on home ice: they recently lost to Zvezda, who are in the lower part of the table. Given Norilsk's scoring and strong away performances, there is reason to expect the northern side to pick up points again. My pick is Norilsk Double Chance in regulation (X2).
